W 638/5 R-2RS1 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The W 638/5 R-2RS1 is a metric single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for precision and reliability in compact spaces. Its sealed construction and stainless steel components make it exceptionally resistant to corrosion. This bearing is designed to primarily handle radial loads efficiently while offering reliable performance within a wide temperature range of -30°C to 120°C. Its small bore diameter of 5 mm and lightweight design at just 0.002 kg make it ideal for applications demanding miniaturization and high precision.
W 638/5 R-2RS1 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| W 638/5 | Basic bearing designation with a 5 mm bore diameter. |
| R | Designates a flanged outer ring, facilitating simplified mounting and axial location. |
| 2RS1 | Indicates contact seals on both sides (RS1 type), providing effective protection against contaminants and retention of lubricant. |
W 638/5 R-2RS1 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Sealed Design: The 2RS1 contact seals on both sides effectively shield the bearing's internals from dust, moisture, and other contaminants, while retaining the factory-applied grease lubrication. This contributes to a maintenance-free and long service life.
- Corrosion Resistance: Manufactured entirely from stainless steel (rings, balls, and cage), this bearing is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, making it suitable for harsh environments and applications requiring washdown.
- Simplified Mounting with Flange: The integrated flange (R) on the outer ring allows for easy axial positioning and secure mounting into a housing, simplifying assembly and reducing overall costs.
- Precision Performance: Built to P0 tolerance class and standard CN radial internal clearance, it ensures consistent and smooth operation, which is critical for precision instruments and small machinery.
